Bandai Namco has announced additional physical content for the Xbox One version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Collector’s Edition.
Exclusive to the Xbox, the collector’s edition will contain a physical cloth map and two Gwent card decks. Gwent is an in-game card game that can also be played in real life.
Speaking about Gwent, CD Projekt RED co-founder Marcin Iwiñski said: “Gwent is an amazing game and we’re really happy to be able to bring it to the physical realm with Microsoft’s help. Now we’ve got Gwent in every copy of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt as an in-game experience for free on every platform, and a physical version in the Xbox One CE, how awesome is that?”
“Gwent is a fast-paced card game that can be played within The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on every platform,” added the studio. “Invented by dwarves and perfected over centuries of tavern table play, Gwent is a game of initial simplicity and ultimate depth, something beloved by both road-weary travelers during long nights around the campfire and elegant nobles looking to liven up dragging dinner parties.
“The game is about the clash of two armies locked in mortal struggle on a battlefield where the players are the leaders and the cards their forces. With four different factions offering unique combat styles and endless paths to victory, Gwent is every adventurer’s first choice when it comes to one-on-one card-based dueling. Take risks and think on your feet, strategize and deliver cunning combos, use potent magic and mighty hero cards and be the last one standing on the field of honor!”
